Worse Than a Yugo
Mark Palmer, 08/30/2002
1992 Hyundai Elantra 4dr Sedan
This was the worst new car I ever
owned, and I never drove it hard. It
was at the dealership for repairs over
15 times in three years. It started
out with numerous electrical problems.
The 5 speed transmission was rebuilt at
15k miles. The throttle body went at
30k, the front end components at 40k.
There were many other numerous issues
also, too many to mention. … Finally,
its timing belt broke at 50k miles,
which threw all of its exhaust valves
into the pistons. It was rebuilt, but
I was fed up with it at that point and
sold it. Way too much downtime. DO
NOT buy a 1992-1995 Hyundai Elantra as
a used car. They are horrible!

Not a half bad car considering the price
Trogdor, 03/31/2003
1992 Hyundai Elantra 4dr Sedan
I purchased this Hyundai as my first car
. Since then I've been using it for
delivering pizza. After adding over
40000km to it I have a few things to say.
The following has gone wrong:
Muffler fell off, $90. Shifter cable
snappe...on the freeway, $114. CV boots
tore off $40 (diy). Synchronizers shot,
$1800 to rebuild ... yeah right. $150
for a wreck and a weekend later ta … da :)
It's actually a decent little beater.
Good on gas, has had only the problems
you'd expect for an econo import with
200k+ on it, no body rust, not interior
wear, and runs smooth as the day I got it.
